"Cambridge is like a little microcosm. You come into Cambridge and I’m like 'I don’t know this place'. If we randomly distributed people around the UK you might struggle to fit in."

Katie says Harry Stovin-Bradford has earlier apologised to her. "I think the Cambridge Union has to protect and preserve free speech," she adds.

“I don't think it’s the place for the president to say why he disagrees with my views. That's not very professional."

“Certainly the bar for libel is lower than my labia,” she quips.

“I’m not tired of it,” she states. “My cause is the person who feels they can’t speak. I like to think I’m having the balls to speak out and when the law do take me, I think it will be an interesting day.”
